I doubt it, since by now the survey has already been collected,
discussed, and used for planning. ;-)

Yes. It was a very difficult survey to take. Many options were
missing, IMHO. One was definitely missing, as I received confirmation
that the option I wrote in for another question in a remarks field
should have been on there. I submitted the survey with nothing chosen,
and all info in the remarks/comment fields. That said, given there
were things missing and responses like mine (I find it hard to think I
was the only one who used the comment fields), I'd think this survey
wasn't particularly useful in providing member input into setting
direction for the STC.
